The moon is high and the sunset fades The lullabies have all been sung We're tuckin' in another day And stars appear now one by one But the stillness moves and the silence yields And not a single beat is lost You can hear the chorus in the fields Taking up where we left off And your praise goes on, rising to your throne Where you guard us while we dream Past the stars they fly, your praises fill the skies 'Til you wake us with the dawn and your praise goes on Now bring your warmth, oh morning sun Chase the stars and the moon away And wake us with your brightest song And add our voice to your refrain Now rise up everything that lives Flap your wings and leap for joy Oh, forest lift your arms and sway Clap your hands your ocean waves And your praise goes on, rising to your throne Where you bless our toil and play Through the clouds they rise, your praises fill the skies 'Til the setting of the sun and your praise goes on And when my final breath you lend I'll thank you for the life you gave But that won't mean the praises end 'Cause I won't be silenced by the grave And your praise goes on, I'll be runnin' to your throne With every nation, tribe and tongue To your arms I'll fly, I'll gaze into your eyes Then I'll know as I am known and your praise goes on And your praise goes on And your praise goes on
